When I look in a mirror, I see myself as balanced. However, when I watch a video or see a photograph of myself, I am painfully aware of my weaknesses. As my husband and I were taking my submission photos for the Essante Organics 12 week Transformation Contest I was made excruciatingly aware of not only my need for weight loss, but also my need to find a new "normal".
As someone with a right sided hemiparesis for 20+ years, it is often very difficult to know when my body is evenly weighted on both sides and I am standing squarely. My kinesthetic perception of centered/normal has been skewed to the left for most of my life.
My skewed version of normal effects more than just my balance. It impacts my strength, flexibility, endurance, and self-confidence. I've even noticed that my smile is bigger and more symmetrical when I'm paying attention to the symmetry of the rest of my body...like my soul is also longing for balance.
Over the last week, I've placed my focus on shifting my normal with such resolve that I discovered new abilities...and consequently new sore muscles. I've pushed my own limits to reveal new strengths. I've surpassed old goals and created new ones. I succeeded where I once struggled with fear.
As I work toward my goals during my organic transformation journey, I am creating a new normal throughout every aspect of my life. I am striving for a new normal not only in my body and balance, but also in my life, nutrition, and income thanks to Essante Organics!
Is there an aspect in your own life where you'd like to create a new normal?
